A nurse and a Baltimore woman ready to give birth decided to prank the baby’s dad after he fell asleep by pretending he missed his child’s birth. TODAY’s Joe Fryer shares this Morning Boost.

Working mom Lauren Pontiff went running for tissues after watching her baby take her first steps on a daycare livestream. Pontiff wasn’t crying out of sadness for missing 12-month-old Lilly Kate’s milestone; they were happy tears. “Of course, it kills me that I wasn’t there to witness the moment in person, but seeing how big a cheerleader my daughter had in my absence… I can’t describe how much comfort that brought me,” Pontiff, 28, tells TODAY.com.

Pontiff works at the same Louisiana daycare as Short, but she is on the administrative side. “I feel like we only hear negative stories about daycares. You rarely hear about the good things — and there are so many good things,” Pontiff says. “Imagine leaving for work knowing this is the type of love your kid is getting,” one person wrote in the comments.
